Despite that body mass index (BMI) is a measure widely recognized as imprecise and of limited diagnostic utility, it remains in use in health care, including in procedure candidacy screening and to disqualify some patients’ access to indicated interventions. In this Sept 10th Grand Rounds, Drs Fatima Cody Stanford and Natalie Boero will examine the clinical applications of BMI and their effects on patients, and how our understanding of the obesity "epidemic" has evolved.

Recorded September 10, 2025.
